jl MADE A HERO OF DEBS.
Great Demonntratlon of His Admirers on
His Release From Jail.
Eugene V. Debs for Ave .minutes was liter- |
ally "In the hands of his friends." It was
just at the arrival of the train load of admirers
of the leader at the little town of Woodstock,
11L, near Chicago, where he had been
in prison for six months because of his con- f
' nectlon as leader with the strike of the
American Railway Union.
I ETJGEJre V. DEBS.
! They had marched from the ratlror-d depot
to the jail, and Debs stood upon the steps
L awaiting them. Without giving him a chance
to speak theorowd rushed upon him, draggel
him from the steps, and in a few mome its
[ had htm high in the air. He was passed
> from hand to hand. The hand played "Sue,
, the Conquering Hero Comes."
Debs took it as if he were a hero in fajt,
i and when he was put down began a handshaking
that lasted until the train wa3 nearly
) ready to start for Chicago.
Among those who went to WooJstock was
' ex-Governor Waite, of Colorado. He came
all the way from Denver to be present. When
> he and Debs met Debs threw his arms around
> the Governor's neck and Waite said:
? "God bless you, my boy."
1 The ex-Governor seemed overcome. The
march to the train was like the triumphal
k entry of a raler. The music was the '"Slarl
seillaise," and the streets were crowded.
Hundreds of citizens of MoHenry County
i stood ankle deep in the snow to catch a
glimpse of Debs. Fully half of the spectators
were women, and one or two of them
i brought flowers and threw them to him.
Cominar back to Chicago on tho train,
> Debs was obliged to walk twice through all
: the cars and shake hands with every occuI
pant When the delegation reached 'Chicago
another orowd was waiting at the North west?
ern depot and the scene at Woodstock was
: dn plicated.
i From the depot, the line of march was
taken up to Battery D, and although a miserable
rain was falling, the streets were
filled with spectators, who joined thf> maroh
era.
' Debs mad'? a speech to thousands of his
1 admirers at Chicago. His theme w is "Liberty."
In bis speech he said:
"I have had time for meditation and re'
flection, and I have no hesitancy In deolar'
lng that under the same circumstances I
would pursue precisely the same policy. So
far as my acts are concerned, I have neither
apology nor regrets."

i TERRIBLE AC
Results of a Powder Explosion at th
Old City of Palma.
30DIES BLOWN TO ATOMS
Sighty Women an! Men Were Employe
In Emptying Cartridge** Oatslde th
Wall of the Chief Town or Mnjorca?
One Ignited and Scorcs Perished-Thirty-Seven
Womefi Killed.
A terrible accident resulting in a sad los
>f life occurred at Palma, chief city of th
3land of Majorca, 130 mile3 socth of Barce
ona. Spain. Eighty persons, most of whoi
pero women, were employed in emptying o!
art ridges outside the walls of the tow
r'nen one of the cartridges exploded i
ome unknown manner. A large quantity o
iowder that had been taken oat of cartridge
ras lying about over a considerable area
Jid this was ignited by the dissharga of th
art ridge.
A tremendous explosion followed whio]
hattered the masonry of the town walls
7hich are extremely thick, and did consider
,ble damage to houses. A number of peopl
srere killed, but it was some hours before th
iTiaot loss of life was ascertained.
The bodies of seventeen dead were founi
mmedlately. and many more were killed
heir bodies being blown to atoms. Fort;
iersons were seriously wounded, and som
>f them fatally. Many of the dead am
rounded were found at considerable dls
ances from the scene of the accident, havin
teen hurled bodily through the air by th
orce of the explosion. Some of the dea<
eera terribly burned and mangled, so mud
o in a number of cases that identiflcutlo:
rill be extnmely difficult, If not impossible
in official inquiry Into the cause of the di?
ister will be held.
A later despatch from Palma say3 that th
oss of life through the explosion was fa
freater than was announced in the first re
>orts of the accident. It is now known tha
birty-seven women and fourteen men wer
nstantly killed. Thirty-five women an
Ive men were seriously injured, and of thi
lumber twenty have since died.
This tragedy occurred on the largest is!
ind of the Balearic group, in the Meditei
anean, off the coast of Spain, and belongin
o that kingdom. Palma is one of the mos
hnving towns in the kingdom, and its pro?
>erlty is largely due to the rather exception
illy fertile soil of the island and its very fin
ilimate. Perpetual spring reigns in Majorca
ind it, and the other little islands of th
fro up have about 250,000 inhabitants.
Th? nnn+rfi of n.11 that is most attractive 1
he islands is Palma, whioh is the capital c
he whole island province of Baleares. ]
ias about 75,000 people, is entirely sui
ounded by walls, and is fortified by thix
een bastions. The beautiful harbor is s
ipacious that it would befit a continent
>ort of the first class. A mole 1500 feet Ion
s lined on both sides with drydocks. an
lere many of the vessels of Spain are Dull'
The city contains many elegant public an
>rivate buildings, not a few of them c
rreat age. The Gothic Cathedral, whic
vas begun in the thirteenth century an
vas nearly 400 years in building, is one c
he most conspicuous structures. The E:
ihange dates from the fifteenth century, an
n the Church of St. Francis is the tomb c
laimon Lull, tho famous poet and pnllosc
>her of the thirteenth century, who wa
>orn in Palma, and was one of the mo!
iroliflc writers that ever lived.
The caves of the Baleario Islands are
rreat natural curiosity and, together wit)

that since then the revenues ot the depart*"
ment have reflected the general returning Of ' ..fri
prosperity to the country. He ascribes thft
gross abuse of second-class rates ot postage
as the chief cause ot the yearly deficit In
postal revenues. He repeats and endorsee -j j
the recommendatictaa of his predecessors,
Blssell and Wan&maker, for an amendment
of the law in regard to the transportation of
second-class matter, and saya^ Jt:" 'QS&b
"It is the estimate of the deoartnbftnt that l?*'M
two-thirds In weight of all the matter carried] ?|fl
In the mails Is, under existing laws and v'mi
classiflcations, carried as aecond-clase
matter at the rate of one cent a pound, ojKS
where it is not actually carried postage
free. The aggregate weight of seoondclass
matter in the year 1804 was 299,000.000 i&J
pounds. During the last year it increased*#*?
to oyer 813,000,000, a growth of over 15,000,000
pounds. Deducting the weight of that
which is known as 'oounty free,* being the
matter which is circulated among subscrlb*
ers free of postage in the respective oounttta
of publication, estimated to be 46,830,188 :^X
pounds, there remained 265,814,381 pounds,
which returned, at the rate of one cgota C i^jg
pound, a revenue of $2,653,143.82. 9Hv?
average cost to the department of transport- ; ;i-g
ing and handling this matter Is estimated at
eight cents per pound."
Speaking of the extension of civil service i
rules to letter carriers, he says:
"An Indispensable basis of good service
was laid by placing the carrier force under
the civil servioe system, and no effort* ' A
should be spared by the department to insure
a high morale in this force and to familiarize
the idea among Individual carriers that
as they enter the service by the merit ' t
system alone, so likotvise they remain in
It by no tenure but that of the faithful! '
and efficient discharge of duty whiota. demands
self-reepect and honorable living; It
is inevitable that a few individuals here and
there should Interpret this stability of em{iloyment
as a personal privilege, enoouragng
slovenly servioe and insubordination to,
superior officers, rather than a reform |
based on considerations of a better] ' ' i
Eublio service; and such instances j ' -it
ave occurred and ^ will ^ doubtless,1
continue to oocur, even auer ins mn uw
ing of the civil service system is understood
and accepted. But it is gratifying to report
that as a whole. and by such overwhelming
predominance as to make the exception mors . ?
prominent, the army of letter carriers is
alert, faithful, efficient and honorable.
'The Postmaster-General desires olvll serw j
vice methods to be carried still further and! !
higher in the Postofflco Department, Ho'
recommends that at least three of the As-!
sistant Postmasters-General should secure;
their office by a a ciyil servioe or merit ten- wf
ure, and not by apolitical tenure. Store.,
frains from offering a like opinion as to the' it
Fourth Assistant Postmaster-Guneral, because
the fourth-class Postmasters, whoso J
appointments are primarily allotted to him, H
are yet outside of that tenure.
"The question of extending civil service. ]

he says, "has naturally received i
